Dream Journal
Write down your dreams, find your dream signs and go lucid.
Most dreams are gone within minutes of waking. Writing them down straight away is the most reliable way to remember more of them, and after a few weeks your journal shows the themes that keep coming back: the dream signs that help you notice you are dreaming.
How the Mind dream journal works
Write it down in seconds
Give each dream a title and write what you remember. The date is filled in, so the morning routine stays short.
Mark what kind of dream it was
Lucid, nightmare, recurring or false awakening: one tap each, so your stats can count them.
Mood and tags
Pick how the dream felt on a five-step scale and tag people, places and themes to find your dream signs.
Stats that show your progress
With a Mind subscription, see how your moods break down, how many dreams were lucid, nightmares or recurring, and which tags come back.
A reminder every morning
Dream Reminder nudges you to write before the dream fades; reality-check reminders during the day help you go lucid.
More than dreams
The same journal keeps your meditations, visions and remote viewing sessions, each under its own topic.
Pair it with Lucid Dream Reality Checks, the tool that sends the morning and daytime reminders.
Lessons on remembering and controlling dreams
Dream journal questions
Why keep a dream journal?
Writing dreams down as soon as you wake is the most reliable way to remember more of them. Over weeks it also shows your recurring themes and dream signs, which is the first step to lucid dreaming.
Is there a dream journal app?
Mind has one built in, free: write down each dream, mark it lucid, a nightmare, recurring or a false awakening, and add mood and tags. Stats over time come with a Mind subscription.
What should I write in a dream journal?
Everything you remember, in the present tense: places, people, feelings and anything strange. Add a title and the date. Fragments count too; they bring back more over time.
